OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of Propyl Gallate (PrG) on cellular adhesion between human To investigate the effects of Propyl Gallate (PrG) on cellular adhesion between human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) as well as the expression umbilical
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) significantly contributes to survival of cancer cells and is being considered as one of therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. Propyl gallate (PG) is a synthetic phenolic compound that possess a potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In the present study, we
Alkyl esters of gallic acid inhibited the respiration rate of mouse sarcoma 786A and mouse mammary adenocarcinoma TA3 cell lines and its multiresistant variant TA3-MTX-R more effectively than gallic acid, both in the absence and in the presence of the uncoupler CCCP. The order of inhibition of the
Propyl gallate (PG), widely used as an antioxidant in foods, is carcinogenic to mice and rats. PG increased the amount of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a characteristic oxidative DNA lesion, in human leukemia cell line HL-60, but not in HP100, which is hydrogen peroxide
Effects of the dietary antioxidants alpha-tocopherol (alpha-Toc), t-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), propyl gallate (PG) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were examined using a multi-organ carcinogenesis model. Groups of 20 F344 male rats were treated with a single intragastric administration of 100 mg/kg
We assessed the effects of 41 potential chemopreventive agents in the F344 rat using the inhibition of carcinogen-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in the colon as the measure of efficacy. ACF were induced by the carcinogen azoxymethane in F344 rats by two sequential weekly injections at a dose of
Chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies were conducted on D-mannitol and propyl gallate in F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. Groups of 50 rats and 50 mice of each sex were maintained on diets containing either 0, 2.5 or 5.0% D-mannitol or 0, 0.6 or 1.2% propyl gallate for 103 wk. D-Mannitol had no
The role of reactive oxygen (RO) in the promotion of neoplastic transformation of JB6 mouse epidermal cells by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was investigated using inhibitors of RO itself or RO generating systems of seven different types. Bovine erythrocyte CuZn superoxide dismutase
The anti-oxidant and the anti-tumor-promotion activities of several hydrolyzable tannins (HTs), including a commercial tannic-acid (TA) mixture, were examined in mouse skin treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in vivo. A single application of TPA gradually increases the
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been demonstrated to selectively decrease the production of type I and type III collagens in human dermal fibroblasts. The effects of the commonly used food antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), alpha-tocopherol,
DT-diaphorase is a two-electron reducing enzyme that activates the bioreductive anti-tumour agent, mitomycin C (MMC). Cell lines having elevated levels of DT-diaphorase are generally more sensitive to MMC. We have shown that DT-diaphorase can be induced in human tumour cells by a number of
Propyl gallate (PG) as a synthetic antioxidant exerts a variety of effects on tissue and cells. Here, we investigated an involvement of glutathione (GSH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PG-induced inhibition of HeLa cell growth. PG dose-dependently inhibited HeLa cell growth and induced
A novel compound, acetyltanshinone IIA (ATA) was obtained from chemical modifications of tanshinone TIIA (TIIA) isolated from a medicinal plant, Salvia miltiorrhiza. ATA exhibited increased water solubility and stronger apoptotic activity on multiple cancer cell lines than TIIA. ATA displayed a
Propyl gallate (PG) is a synthetic antioxidant that has been used in processed food and medicinal preparations. The anti-cancer effect of PG in leukemia is unclear. In the present study, we demonstrate that PG reduced cell viability in THP-1, Jurkat, and HL-60 leukemia cells and induced apoptosis in
The poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been attributed to a high frequency of tumor metastasis and recurrence even after successful surgical resection. With less than 30% of patients benefiting from curative treatment, alternative treatment regimens for patients with advanced HCC
